Badger Prairie Dog Park

This fenced, off-leash dog park on 9 acres is well-known for its cleanliness and upkeep. There are two jumps and a tunnel in the agility section. Please keep in mind that park use necessitates a permit.

A six-acre fenced area designed as an off-leash exercise area for dogs and their owners is available (daily visitor permits are $5 and can be purchased at the park's self-registration station), as well as a wildlife viewing platform where park visitors can observe a variety of grassland bird species.

Mendota County Park is a few miles southwest of Governor Nelson State Park, off County Rd M near the intersection of County Rds Q and M in the Town of Westport. A 30-unit campground and a 5-unit boat camping area are available in the park. Each campsite has a 30-amp power outlet. Some recreational RVs may require an extension cord to connect to the electric pedestal.

Quann Park is largely an off-leash dog park with a 12-court tennis complex that may be reserved. Between Quann and Goodman parks is the Wingra Creek bike trail. Alliant Energy Center has a shared-use agreement with the park, which allows them to use it as overflow parking and event space.

With three locations, Odana School, Warner, and Sycamore, Madison Parks offers nine fenced, off-leash dog park sections, each with a separate small dog enclosed area.
